Thanks again, Dustin. That's very useful info.

Re the VP-X controlling power to the G3X... In the airplane that we flew, the G3X would indeed turn on with the Master Switch. The problem we encountered was that once the engine was running, it was impossible to turn off the G3X. Is this normal behavior for a VP-X based system?

[Shadowrider]

Yes that is normal, it’s displaying vital engines gauges like oil pressure and rpm ect.

[Eric Page]

Hmmm, OK. That raises more questions, but I won't hijack this thread going down that rabbit hole...

Thanks, Dustin!

Justin I have a question for you. I just did the 9.13 update to the G3X along with the update to my GTX45R transponder. I read that rs-232 connection was maxed out and part of the updates is to use the new Connect protocol for ADSB weather data. Will this speed up the rate at which you download ADSB data? Is there any settings that I need to make or is the automatic once the update is done. "G3X is currently connected to transponder via bluetooth as well as rs-232"

Hi Dustin,

The new Connext protocol will work just fine as long as you set the ports on both sides. That being said, it is not necessary at this point. That ability was introduced to facilitate future development!

Thanks,

Justin

I had "Two" autopilot servos that were bad. John M had told me he had experienced one servo problem and was very suspicious as to having two at the same time. Garmin was contacted and servos were replaced right away as they were brand new and on the shelf for about two years before discovered. Thanks Garmin.
